Aaron,
A full is a full and you can't go past the most recent full just cause it
was kicked off by a different schedule. How the backup got started or what
pool it was written to wouldn't make any difference.

Subject: [Networker] Preparing for levels and incrementals across 2 groups

I've searched the 7.4 Admin Guide and these forums but haven't been able to
find a solution.

My question:
With the same client writing to 2 different media pools (one for Onsite and
one for Offsite), if I put a leveled backup in my Onsite schedule and placed
it to where it would run on some day after an Offsite backup, but before the
next Onsite backup, would the leveled backup be "leveled" from the last
Offsite full or the last Onsite full that was made?

The reason I ask, I want to be able to do restores from just the tapes I
have in my library. If my leveled backups are being determined off the full
backups from my Offsite set, I'd have to go retrieve the tapes that are
offsite and load them into the library for a restore. Ideally, I'd like to
have the levels determine only from my Onsite fulls. I'm not sure if this
question is confusing for the Networker Guru's, but I've detailed my setup
below if it helps.


My setup:
I'm running Networker 7.4 in a W2k3 environment. I have a client part of two
groups "Onsite Backups" and "Offsite Backups". In the "Onsite Backups"
group, the client override schedule property is set to "Onsite", which does
a full backup the first four fridays of a five week period. In the "Offsite
Backups" group, I have the group's client override schedule property set to
"Offsite", which does a full backup on the fifth friday of a five week
period. This setup gives me a full back up every week, but every fifth
friday the backup is run from the "Offsite Backups" group and is written to
an "Offsite" pool instead of my "Onsite" pool that the "Onsite Backups"
write to.

Thanks,
Aaron
